The Oilers have lost their past five games, including back-to-back shutouts against the Toronto Maple Leafs (4-0) and Detroit Red Wings (5-0). They face a Florida team also in the midst of a five-game losing streak.

"Obviously extremely excited," Smyth said of his return. "When you're ever injured or hurt you want to try to get back as quickly as you can to help out. [Tuesday] is a big day and hopefully I can contribute and be a part of something here."

Versteeg has two goals and three assists in 12 games but didn't have a point in his past three games. He said Saturday marked the first time in his career he ever had been a healthy scratch.

"You never want to be taken out but you deal with it the best you can and move on and hopefully have a big effort [Tuesday]," Versteeg said. "I hadn't been playing my best. I hope to really turn that around."
